For the Review
Hundreds of alumnae, parents, and students held a prayer vigil and marched to the Art Museum steps recently to voice their disapproval of the Philadelpphia Archdioceseâs decision to close Hallahan Catholic Girlâs High School at the end of the school year. Many of the participants who braved a chilly night were Roxborough residents who came out to advocate for the past, present and future of a beloved educational institution that has served generations from our community.

The rally also had representation from many other parts of the city and outlying areas including South Philly, Port Richmond, Fairmount, Fishtown, North Philly, and suburban communities as far as Norristown demonstrating Hallahanâs richly diverse population. Hallahan is the oldest all-girls Catholic high school in the country.
